As far as history goes, lagers are relatively new to the beer scene. By new, we mean the first mention of a lager style beer was in 16th century Bavaria. A lagers biggest differentiator is the style of yeast used during fermentation and the temperature at which you brew. To be a true lager, you need a bottom-brewing yest, and it needs to be fermented at cooler temperatures.
